Citation won 32 of his 45 races (but won 27 of 29 races when in his prime in 1947 and 1948).

In 1970, at the age of 25, Citation passed away.

In 1999, ESPN selected Citation as #97 on their SportsCentury list of the 100 greatest North American athletes of the 20th century (whether or not you view a racehorse as an "athlete", ESPN did; for e2 purposes, I choose to list him as a thing, not a person).
